BROOKLYN - The family of Akai Gurley, who was shot to death in a NYCHA building stairwell last year, is continuing to seek justice for him.

On Tuesday, a judge denied the defense's motion to dismiss the felony criminal case against NYPD Officer Peter Liang for which he was indicted. Liang is charged with manslaughter in connection with the shooting in a dimly lit stairwell of the Pink Houses in East New York on Nov. 20.
